Believe it or not only been on one of the rides mentioned : Peter Pan.
The other rides reminded me of attractions seen at other amusement parks so I bypassed em. Also traveled with older children who had more interest in faster rides.
I’ll admit PP was for the novelty; once was enough.
 
It really is so delightful.
For awhile I didn’t want to try it since I was bitter about TGMR closing, but when we finally did ride it we instantly fell in love. My favorite part is with Daisy Duck - 123, 123, 123 - I just love it! ❤️
Yes we were just there in Dec. when we got to Daisy we couldn‘t stop laughing.
 
If I have a Lightning Lane, Peter Pan but if not, then Buzz Lightyear. Peter Pan and even Pooh are awful in standby lol

I went with Buzz Lightyear but it does beg the question - why is the line always so long for Peter Pan? I don't get it.
It's a few factors:

1. PPF's capacity is 800 riders/hr. That is probably the lowest hourly capacity of any ride at WDW (unsure about Disneyland).
2. At WDW, the ride has Lightning Lane which absolutely destroys standby. My mom recently did standby and she counted over a hundred Lightning Lane guests that passed through for every 1 or 2 standby parties.
3. Slow load and unload process. Also size of ride vehicles means less riders per vehicle.
4. Nostalgia

From the options listed, I went with Peter Pan.

I thought about Runaway Railway since it's a super cute ride and when you add on the pre-show movie, it's about a 7 minute experience (compared to Peter Pan's 3- although the updated queue is fun). Unpopular opinion, but I hated GMR and think Runaway Railway is a significant improvement to the space. I just don't like the new Mickey & Friends animation style and Peter Pan usually ranks between 2-3 of my favorite Disney movies. If I've been away from the parks for awhile, I've been known to tear up when it's time to wave good-bye to Nana and fly over London. That being said, Peter Pan is not my favorite attraction, but I guess that's for a different poll 😉 For the other options, I've never been able to do well on Buzz, so that was out. Fun ride, but I just never score well. Pooh is one of those cute rides that I have fond memories from my girls' first few trips, but I also have a number of breakdown memories mixed in with pre-kid Mr. Toad memories.
 
I went with Runaway Railroad. But only because I have never ridden it before.

Of the others. Peter Pan, Pooh, Buzz in that order. Versions of all four of these can be ridden at Disneyland as well.
 
If the ones you listed, I picked Buzz. Runaway Railway is cute too but Buzz is more interactive.

I don’t understand the love for Peter Pan. It’s… fine, but definitely not worth the wait that it usually has. I’d definitely pass up that one. I’m also a huge Pooh fan but don’t like the ride. The Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride ride mechanics don’t work well with the Pooh retheming in my opinion.
 
Of those in the poll, Peter Pan. It was so infrequent we would dedicate the time it took to wait for it, when my kids were small, that going on it was a HUGE treat and we always had so much fun.

If I could be on ANY ride right now, however, it would be EE or Living with the Land, which is my ultimate fave.
 
I don't understand the love for Buzz. As a shooting game is it seriously inferior to TSMM (and MIB at US) IMO.
 
If I have to choose among those 3 I'd pick Peter Pan, but it's not in my MK top 5 and may not be in my MK top 10.
